Sometimes it comes down to a part in a song sounding "bright" or "shiny", and it's not much of a leap from there to say it sounds yellow or white.



The bassline in this song is clearly black to me, with the synths and harmonies playing rainbow colours; I find this album really well paired with its artwork. Perhaps artwork influences my synesthesia a little too heavily, because I find things pair up well a lot, and then I wonder if it was just the power of suggestion.

I associate colours with names, places, people, letters, and numbers as well.
